ChatMate uses Google's Gemini AI to generate Hinglish responses:
- When you enter a message, the extension sends a request to the Gemini API
- The API generates a contextually appropriate response based on your conversation mode and tone
- If the API is unavailable, the extension uses a fallback local response system
- The extension formats all responses to ensure they have a natural Hinglish style
- Responses can be automatically sent or manually copied to the chat
All conversation data is stored locally in your browser. When using the API:
- Only the current message and instructions are sent to Google's Gemini API
- No conversation history or personal data is transmitted
- API calls require your API key, which is stored securely in your browser
